We're onto Denver

Martin at least got on the plane. William, unfortunately, did not. So Cleveland replaces him.

That's a loss that won't get nearly the attention that it deserves, particularly with Charmin soft blocking TE Chandler, and an excellent defensive opponent.

if brady pulls this one off, he seals the MVP. for those who care about that ****.

RB's and TE's vs their linebackers in the middle of the field I am thinking. would be a nice game for Scott Chandler to finally breakout

what do you mean by breakout? if chandler catches 4-5 passes ill be shocked.
think asante plays more because he's a better blocker. chandler is soft.

I had hoped Asante being active was to unleash some super secret offense on Denver, but that, sadly, doesn't appear to be the case. Maybe they go with an extra active OL?

I'll save you the agony right now, Tony: I am concerned with how we'll be able to move the ball and score enough points, and I think that's true with most posters.

Our offense is designed for the chemistry of those quick, underneath timing routes, and without Edelman or Amendola, things change dramatically.

Here's hoping for the best.

No, please save it for Sunday. JK

The Patriots Defense will stop Denver's O and give Brady and crew enough opportunities to put points on the board.

On top of that I do not think the Oline will play as bad as it did last week.

When a top guy goes down another guy steps in and gives you something. It most likely will not be 100% of what you lost but it will be something. I like what I have seen so far from Harper and White and I think they give you enough to win tomorrows game.

I also think with 3 or 4 TE's on the roster we will see more of Gronk or Chandler than last week.

Special teams favors the Pats as well.

Lastly, it is also BB, McDaniels and Patricia against the Denver coaching staff.

I do not see the Pats losing this game.

I think pats are going to try and push the ball more vertical . They dont have the short passing game anymore. They will try more than a few bombs hoping one or two of them connect.

Preferably not to Slater on 3rd and 4

5 sacks on 32 dropbacks makes me think one thing.

Make Osweiler hold the ball.

Especially because, despite the five sacks, Chicago didn't get much pressure on Osweiler.

Cleveland can't block?

Wrong.

If the OL plays decent they will absolutely have the short passing game. Thinking that is just saying you doubt Brady.

Jay Cutler with Josh Bellamy, Marques Wilson and Marc Mariani almost pulled it off against them and should have if they kick a FG.

If Bears went INTO Den...that game wouldn't have been that close

No.Iam not doubting brady. Dont know how you inferred that. Iam just basing on the personnel group we have right now .Just my observation since the giant game once edelman went down. They went deep a lot after in that game with Pa and even in the bills game, brady tried more than a few than they normally would do if edelman/amendola/lewis played.
Of course its just my thought, doesnt mean it will happen.

If you took the time to reply and disagree with SVN (the right thing to do), why did you also hit the disagree rating on his post? Just curious.

Try and get gronk free up the seam somehow and get the ball to lafell. Broncos have a very stout run D but the pats are going to try and run a lot tomorrow on them in think, at least initially.

brady should have no problem then as long as the line is average.

Needs to be MUCH better than the buff game that's for sure

Funny. I always thought that if you disagree you should at least reply to explain why.

Based on what? Teddy Bridgewater and the Vikings went into Denver and was in a 3 point game with them.
